Literary facts:

The premise of the second part of Don Quixote is that the protagonist is on a quest to beat up a guy who wrote an unflattering fanfic about him

The Tale of Genji contains a chapter with no text to reflect the fact that the viewpoint character has just died

At one point the framing narrative of Frankenstein develops into a dude telling a story about a dude telling a story about a dude telling a story

[prokopetz]

No significant recurring characters appear within the first 25 000 words of Les Misérables, the text’s initial fourteen chapters being occupied with a detailed biography of a priest who subsequently appears in one scene

In its authors’ notes, The Princess Bride claims to be an abridged edition of a 16th Century political satire that the editor’s father once read to him as a bedtime story; the movie is in turn purportedly based on this bedtime story version (which appears nowhere in the published text), making it an adaptation of a fictitious abridgement of a nonexistent novel

toxic masculinity is men only wanting to see Hugh Jackman in violent action films while he just wants to sing show tunes

[cheshireinthemiddle]

“Toxic masculinity” is a sexist term with no female equivalent used to (sort of) address issues men face but also blaming men only for it. “Toxic masculinity” is hust another word for “gender roles” that society (including women) enforce.

And Hugh Jackman is a grown man. He chooses to be in violent films just like grown women choose to be on covers of fashion magazines. He can change his career whenever he wants.

[sillybitchynerd]

Only a huge asshole who look at Jackmans ability to do both hardcore action scenes and sign show tunes and go ‘there is a PROBLEM HERE and it’s MEN’S FAULT!!!!” 

Why can’t he do both? I don’t remember a single man being upset that he was in Greatest Showmen, or Le Miserables. They want to see him in rolls that he’s done before like in X-men but really…..no one is out demanding it or boycotting other films he’s doing. Hell he did a bunch of super dumb 90′s rom coms like Kate and Leopold and no one bitched about THAT. Where did this come from?

[alaija]

The difference between toxic masculinity and feminism toxic femininity is that the men don’t throw a bitch fit over things like this.

Well…you heard him, everybody.

[hypocrisyofandrewdobson]

A few of his responses so far.

[hypocrisyofandrewdobson]

And of course, it doesn’t matter how many female characters in starting roles you come up with, because it was never really about that. It was about Dobson being tight because he says so.

Also, the fact that you were yelling about Zack Snyder a few days ago completely disproves your point, Dobson.

[semicolonthefifth]

“For every 1 you can name, I can name 100 movies featuring straight white men as leads.” Now that right there is the REAL bullshit.

I fucking doubt he would even bother naming even 10 films, let alone 100; because the truth is this whole argument ended the moment it began. You could have a detailed list of every film with a woman lead, from all ends of the globe, and send it all over to him… and the dipshit would just turn up his nose and claim, “Oh, um, well it doesn’t matter because [insert a mealy-mouthed excuse here].”

Dobson would rather erase the accomplishments of women and downplay their worth in the creative arts, just so he can latch on to his utterly moronic and rather insulting view of them as infantile, weak, fragile porcelain dolls that can’t do any wrong. He can’t, because then that would require actually seeing other people as human beings, and not the same brand of strawmen that populates his comics.

I’m sure I’d feel the same way if I was a skinny white girl with blue eyes and blonde hair

[iwilleatyourenglish]

this girl posted a picture featuring her cystic acne uncovered, something that’s extremely stigmatized, in order to make a statement and spread positivity.

that’s it. that’s all she did.

she didn’t say she was the face of people with acne or act like she has it harder than other people. she just shared a feature that i’m sure she’s been shamed for and has struggled to love.

she’s literally 17-years-old and you’re 27. stop being a dick to kids when they haven’t done anything wrong.

‪The most hilarious defense of a shitty celebrity (like Poopy-die) is when his fans say “You don’t understand him. No one actually GETS what he is saying.”‬

‪Guess what, genius? If “no one” gets him, that’s not our fault. It means he can’t fucking communicate.‬

[siryouarebeingmocked]

The defenders don’t say “nobody gets Pewdiepie”, they say his detractors don’t. In fact, they say his detractors are often just blindly repeating what other detractors told them.

Ironically, OP is an example of the blameshifting and dishonesty and prejudice they think they’re decrying.

[autistocrat]

Poo- poopydie?

Someone please collect their child

[celestial-naiad]

Also he’s been explicitly clear he isnt a nazi or catering to them. I’m not even a fan of his, I just decided to watch the videos in question and his responses instead of letting the media spoon feed me their versions of everything. Maybe you should do the same OP.

I want to tell a very interesting thing about Thai translation of The Lord of the Rings, there are many things I want to talk about! The old Thai translation is the version I grow up reading, the language used is funny, and I want to talk about the word they used for “The Witch King” 8D

The translator used the word “พญาโหงพราย” (Pya Hong Prai) to call The Witch King, which i find very interesting ;w; พญาโหงพราย has 2 major word in it, Pya (พญา) and Hong Prai (โหงพราย) Hong Prai is a type of Saiyasat (ไสยศาสตร์), or Thai-Khmer black magic involving necromancy. Hong is a soul of people who die a sudden or unnatural death, Prai simply means ghost/nymph/non-human being (Which is a word used for “Elf” too!) A necromancer who is powerful enough (in this case, Sauron) can trap those souls and bind them to himself to do various job for him, ex. A Hong spirit of someone who were once a murderer can be used in doing murder job, or a Hong spirit of someone who used to have lot of lovers can be used to manipulate a person to fall in love. Hong Prai is the word used for all Nazguls too. But the word Pya Hong Prai is used only with the Witch King, because Pya  means  ‘king of___’ (if you put Pya (พญา) in google translate, it will not translate for you because the word is in Sanskrit and not Thai) It’s not surprise that the translator used the word, as black magic and necromancy is still somewhat common in Thailand and Cambodia, even in urban life, if you know where to look and know a black magic works when you saw one. I encountered lot of those too (the lady next door have a Kuman Thong, a type of necromancy using unborn baby’s spirit).To the translator’s understanding, Sauron is a necromancer and the closest thing to Nazgul he/she can think of is a Hong Prai. So yeah, Sauron have a Hong Prai :0

Eowyn and the Fellbeast

[spacecadetmal]

This Anthem article has put such a pit in my stomach all day. It’s always been easy to blame EA for everything gone wrong with BioWare but between this, and the article about Andromeda’s development, it’s pretty clear that EA is not the sole problem. Actually, they’re a minimal problem. I’m so hurt for the developers who spent 6 years waiting for answers and leadership to get it in the last two years and be forced to rush, for the people who had to find private rooms to cry in, or who had to take “stress leave”, or wanted a game to fail so that people would see the way BioWare wants to make games just doesn’t work. Every week it’s a new company fucking up and showing their colors and how they wish to treat their employees. It was easy to blame EA, and see BioWare in a positive light but the moral I guess is that BioWare is a company and they have shown to mistreat their developers and failed from a leadership standpoint on multiple games now. Somethings got to change. So few people on tumblr get what it is to work in game development, but I hope they consider reading this article for what it says or even better, read MORE about game development and learn about the industry. The people who make games we love are suffering because of leadership and exploit and need help. If you love their work and love playing games, be vocal about these terrible work practices and abuses. Help them get unionized and don’t let companies - yes, even BioWare, not just EA - get away with harming their employees.

when are we gonna stop using the word “abusive” as a synonym for “just being an asshole”

[slopaganda]

hate 2 break this 2 yall but the world isnt split up into nice people and abusers. being cruel or manipulative in the absence of an observable pattern of behavior and an established power dynamic isnt abuse. sometimes people are just shitty

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

[woefully-undercaffeinated]

Former self-defense instructor here, the keys-between-fingers thing doesn’t help unless you’ve trained specifically for that. A pencil, pen, hair pick, or pocket knife between the index and middle fingers can kill or seriously injure with a single punch

[moist-astronaut]

Go for the groin, eyes, and neck

Use your elbows and knees, leave dna traces if you have to whether it’s blood, spit, hair, anything that can be used to help find you or at the least incriminate your attacker

Walk with earbuds in, so people are less likely to try and aproacb you, but sound off so you can hear if someone is following you. Pretend you are talking to a friend or family member, especially a boyfriend.

Stay safe

Some things women also don’t know about

1. Many “moms with kids” are actually human traffickers with victims pretending to be such

2. A lot of prostitution rings have started using women to lure women to the pimps in question taking advantage of women’s trust in other women

3. There are women who aid and abet male pedophiles/rapists, they have the psychological condition that makes them get turned on by criminal acts (I don’t remember the name right now).

4. Madams - aka: female pimps exist and are just as ferocious as Male pimps.

5. Women themselves can also commit rape but thanks to skewed rape laws they know they can’t get convicted and are more blatant in their approach

LADIES DONT ASSUME EVERY WOMAN IS YOUR FRIEND. WOMEN CAN BE CREEPS TOO.
